Usually, we tend to take out as I did today, or sit outside at the tables too. It's always a special treat- fav dishes -bolognese lasagna and rice balls. On other visits, we also loveeee the gnocchi. Staff are always super nice, helpful, and friendly. We will definitely come back soon on our next trip to Montclair. Yum.

***3 1/2 stars***…read more Yesterday I decided on a total whim to just grab lunch here before seeing Disclosure Day across the street. I've walked by a gazillion times, usually in the mid-afternoon or evening when the place is really jumping (at least based on the outdoor seating situation). This time around, I came for an early lunch around 11:30am when there were only a few other people sitting down and I had my pick of indoor or outdoor seating. I didn't get much of a look at the interior during my brief trip inside, but it seemed pleasant enough. Morally I didn't have much of a choice though but to sit outside at their communal picnic tables, given that it was sunny and 72. You do the math. As most of my solo eating adventures go, the service was excellent. It definitely helped that it wasn't busy, but both waitresses on the premises were super attentive and I ordered my meal literally within 30 seconds of sitting down. I wasn't on a hardcore schedule (my movie wasn't for an hour and 15 minutes) but I was in and out in probably 20-25 minutes, which is just wild for a legit sit-down meal. Top marks all around. I liked that they kept a bottle of tap at my table too; just efficient there. As soon as I saw gnocchi on the menu, my decision was made. I went with the gnocchi al pomodoro off the lunch entree menu, which was honestly just okay. This is usually a dish I really enjoy, and while it was clearly fresh (the chunks of mozzy are a nice touch) it was pretty bland and tasteless. It's extremely rare for me to look around for seasoning, but I did here (and didn't see any within range, so let it go). Honestly very surprising. The gnocchi itself was fine, but the pieces were so small it was actually difficult to eat/get them onto the fork tines. I had to scoop most of them up, and it was a slow process. Not the biggest deal in the world (the gnocchi was tasty in and of itself) but just a slight annoyance. The price point was fine; with tip, I paid a little over $20, which is on par for Montclair. Maybe it was just an off day/lunch, but I think the play is to come back for dinner with a bottle of wine and get a different dish. This place is very popular (during my brief meal, several people walked by openly declaring they were going to stop by later to eat) so perhaps a few grains of salt here, which would have been nice to add to my dish.

It's easy to miss and walk but so glad we didn't. It was a Sunday night around 6:30 and the place was happening. I was so surprised to see it so busy. We got seated right away and immediately were served kimchi, macaroni salad, watercress with tofu and pumpkin. What an amazing surprise and delight. We ordered and my husband got the spicy chicken and rice stone bowl and I got the tofu stone bowl. Both were so good. Soup also came with our meal but since it was a meat based broth I couldn't have any. At the end of our email they came by with the most delicious cinnamon and ginger tea. Soooo goood! The decor is lovely and the waitstaff attentive and helpful.

Service throughout was really friendly. The interior of the restaurant is also pretty and modern. We ordered the LA Galbi, rose tteokbokki, and a pork tofu soup with level 1 spicy. Food came out quickly and hot. I was really looking forward to the LA Galbi but was disappointed that it was kind of salty but of course if you ate it with the white rice, it paired fine. The rest of the food was also just fine - this place is not the authentic traditional Korean flavor I was looking for but definitely has the modern Korean fusion/street food taste.

For appetizers we went with wontons in chili oil, chicken dumplings, and pork bao buns. I got chicken and broccoli as my entree and my fiance got a chili chicken dish.

We got the 12pc Wings which were smaller than expected. My favorite part of Korean wings is the fact that they're addictively crunchy and double fried - these were neither. The flavor of the sweet & spicy was better than soy garlic but the amount of sesame seeds was slightly overpowering. The Soondubu Chigae w Beef is great for sharing! For the price, the portion is huge. There was a lot of black pepper taste which I found unusual, the egg was not poached, and the portion of beef could've been better. Was it filling? Yes. It just didn't satisfy my craving as expected. The staff were friendly and service was quick. Honestly, the food is super average but considering the serious lack of Korean cuisine in the area, it does the job.

Three stars but don't let that deter you…read more COVID-compliant! No indoor or outdoor seating however. One staff member. Everything is neat and clean, if a little outdated inside. The TV playing a PBS program is from 2003, but it's more about the food right? Good selection of menu items, from salads to soups sandwiches and smoothies. Pricing is based on weight of the salad, so I was a little taken aback that two salads (add avocado), and two seltzer's were just short of $30. The place is nestled in the plaza close a bookstore, coffee shop, and several delis of varying flavors. So they do have some competition and without any outdoor seating available I think it's a rough time for them. However, right across the way is a little park with benches and a few tables, so you can sit and eat safely. I imagine they handle a lot of delivery and takeaway orders. Bottom line is the food is fresh, flavorful, and I'll be back for a good salad.

What is going on here?…read more I ordered the First Avenue sandwich -- a cheesesteak with bacon and sautéed onions -- and it was an absolute salt bomb. Not "well-seasoned." Not "bold." Just aggressively, overwhelmingly salty. Every bite felt like a dare. Between the bacon and the cheesesteak, it was sodium stacked on sodium with zero balance. I genuinely couldn't finish it after two bites. At that point, it felt like I had just thrown money straight into the trash. The sausage stuffed peppers were decent...thankfully. Not mind-blowing, but at least edible and competently made, which is more than I can say for the sandwich. They saved me from a starving morning. Extremely disappointed. I'm all for flavor, but when the dominant note is "are they trying to preserve this for winter?" something has gone very wrong in the kitchen.
